JAKARTA - Martin Odegaard's departure to Arsenal and the injury of Fede Valverde opened an opportunity for Isco to prove himself to coach Zinedine Zidane.

The player from Malaga is now the only alternative option behind Real Madrid's top three midfielders; Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro.

Isco has yet to show his best game this season. Meanwhile, Zidane is stuck with three of his favorite starters in midfield, making it difficult for other players to get minutes.

Despite being an important player in the Frenchman's first term on the bench, Isco has not managed to secure a regular spot since Zidane's return to the Spanish capital.

Even though he intends to leave in January, Isco will remain at Real Madrid until the end of the season. Madrid will not let them weaken after allowing Odegaard to join Arsenal on loan.

As reported by MARCA at the end of November, Isco informed the club of his intention to leave in January and he is ready to do so this month.

The club understands his position, as does Zidane, and they are willing to open the door to his departure. However, the plan was postponed until June.

With Odegaard gone and Valverde away, the situation in Madrid at the moment may be in Isco's favor. He has the opportunity to prove himself until the end of the season. Yes, this is the last chance for Isco.
